Why not spice up your holiday in Tuscany by taking the opportunity to prepare some authentic, seasonal Italian dishes with one of our highly trained Chefs.
Hotel Villa Bordoni organises both residential and non-residential cooking courses and offers lessons based on both Tuscan and other regional dishes. We are also able to custom make programmes to suit specific diets or levels of expertise, and upon request, we can also provide intense, several day programmes.
